SUMMARY:Solar Orbiter
DESCRIPTION:De Solar Orbiter (SOLO) is een ruimtemissie van de Europese Ruimtevaartorganisatie (ESA) en de Amerikaanse Ruimtevaartorganisatie (NASA)\, het doel is om een observatiesatelliet in een baan rond de Zon te brengen. \nDe onbemande ruimtesonde werd op 10 februari 2020\, om 4:03 (UTC) met een Atlas V-411-raket vanaf lanceercomplex SLC-41 op Cape Canaveral AFS gelanceerd. Vanaf een elliptische baan observeert de Solar Orbiter de Zon op dichte afstand\, tot maar 0\,22 AU (ongeveer een vijfde van de afstand tussen de zon en de Aarde)\, ofwel 48 keer de straal van de Zon. Dit maakt het mogelijk om foto’s te nemen van de zon op hogere resolutie dan ooit tevoren. Vooral de poolregio’s van de Zon zijn met de satelliet veel beter te zien dan vanaf de Aarde. Naast het fotograferen\, observeren en beter in kaart brengen van de Zon doet de ruimtesonde ook onderzoek naar de heliosfeer\, het gebied rond de Zon waar de zonnewind overheerst. De ruimtesonde wordt voortgedreven door een ionenmotor (Solar Electric Primary Propulsion). Deze zet met behulp van zonnepanelen zonlicht om in elektriciteit. Hiermee worden gasatomen elektrisch geladen. Als deze het ruimtevaartuig verlaten stuwen ze door hun reactiekracht het ruimtevaartuig voort. Dit betrekkelijk nieuwe type aandrijving werd met succes getest door de SMART-1\, een observatiesatelliet van ESA die van 2003 tot 2006 in een baan rond de Maan draaide. De Solar Orbiter is de opvolger van twee eerdere ruimtesondes naar de Zon\, de Ulysses (gelanceerd in 1990) en de SOHO (gelanceerd in 1995). Het oorspronkelijke besluit tot de Solar Orbiter-missie werd in 2001 genomen.[2] Na enkele jaren van voorbereidend onderzoek kreeg het programma in 2007 het groene licht voor de formele definitiefase. De Solar Orbiter is onderdeel van het HELEX (Heliophysics Explorers)-onderzoeksprogramma\, samen met de Parker Solar Probe van NASA die in augustus 2018 gelanceerd is en de Zon nog veel dichter benadert dan de Solar Orbiter\, tot maar 9 keer de straal van de Zon. NASA werkt ook mee aan de Solar Orbiter: de organisatie was verantwoordelijk voor de boeking van de Atlas V-lanceerraket en leverde daarnaast ook instrumenten. \nWhy Solar Orbiter is angling towards the Sun’s poles\, klik op afbeelding voor vergroting of hier voor info\n\nLinks:\nSolar Orbiter \nSolar Orbiter gets world-first views of the Sun’s poles

SUMMARY:#UnfoldTheUniverse #JWST James Webb Space Telescope / Henrietta Leavitt Teleskop
DESCRIPTION:The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST or “Webb” / called Henrietta Leavitt Teleskop by german scientists Harald Lesch and Josef M. Gaßner) is a space telescope to succeed the Hubble Space Telescope as NASA’s flagship astrophysics mission. \nThe JWST will provide improved infrared resolution and sensitivity over Hubble\, and will enable a broad range of investigations across the fields of astronomy and cosmology\, including observing some of the most distant events and objects in the universe\, such as the formation of the first galaxies. The primary mirror of the JWST\, the Optical Telescope Element\, is composed of eighteen 1.32 metres hexagonal mirror segments made of gold-plated beryllium which combine to create a 6.5 metres diameter mirror that is considerably larger than the Hubble’s 2.4 metres mirror. Unlike the Hubble\, which observes in the near ultraviolet\, visible\, and near infrared (0.1 to 1 μm) spectra\, the JWST will observe in a lower frequency range\, from long-wavelength visible light through mid-infrared (0.6 to 28.3 μm)\, which will allow it to observe high redshift objects that are too old and too distant for the Hubble to observe. \nThe telescope must be kept very cold in order to observe in the infrared without interference\, so it will be deployed in space near the Earth–Sun L2 Lagrangian point\, and a large sunshield made of silicon-coated and aluminium-coated Kapton will keep its mirror and instruments below 50 Kelvin (K). The JWST is being developed by NASA — with significant contributions from the European Space Agency and the Canadian Space Agency — and is named for James E. Webb\, who was the administrator of NASA from 1961 to 1968 and played an integral role in the Apollo program. The prime contractor is Northrop Grumman. Development began in 1996 for a launch that was initially planned for 2007 and a 500-million-dollar budget\, but the project has had numerous delays and cost overruns\, and underwent a major redesign in 2005. The JWST’s construction was completed in late 2016\, after which its extensive testing phase began. The launch date was Dec. 25\, 2021. \n\nLinks:\nJames Webb Space Telescope \nJames Webb Space Telescope -ESA \nWebb Home \nWebb Space Telescope \nNASA’s James Webb Space Telescope – Flickr \nJADES will go deeper than the Hubble Deep Fields \nJames Webb Space Telescope / Henrietta Leavitt Teleskop – playlist \nNASA’s Webb In Full Focus\, Ready for Instrument Commissioning \nNieuwe ruimtetelescoop kijkt naar het begin van de tijd – of net ietsje later \nWebb is now orbiting L2 \nPhotons Received: Webb Sees Its First Star – 18 Times \nNASA emails reveal internal discussions over calls to rename James Webb Space Telescope: report \nFirst Images From NASA’s Webb Space Telescope Coming Soon \nNo\, the Big Bang theory is not ‘broken.’ Here’s how we know \nWebb Looks for Fomalhaut’s Asteroid Belt and Finds Much More \nJames Webb spot monsterachtige waterpluim op Enceladus \nWebb Space Telescope’s First Year of Science Celebration \nWebb Discovers Methane\, Carbon Dioxide in Atmosphere of K2-18 b \nNASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (Flickr) \nThe (Unofficial) JWST Exoplanet Dashboard \nJWST facing potential cuts to its operational budget \nStrongest hints yet of biological activity outside the solar system / New Constraints on DMS and DMDS in the Atmosphere of K2-18 b from JWST MIRI – publication

SUMMARY:Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) mission
DESCRIPTION:The Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) mission is a satellite altimeter jointly developed and operated by NASA and CNES\, the French space agency\, in partnership with the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) and UK Space Agency (UKSA). \nThe objectives of the mission are to make the first global survey of the Earth’s surface water\, to observe the fine details of the ocean surface topography\, and to measure how terrestrial surface water bodies change over time. While past satellite missions like the Jason series altimeters (TOPEX/Poseidon\, Jason-1\, Jason-2\, Jason-3) have provided variation in river and lake water surface elevations at select locations\, SWOT will provide the first truly global observations of changing water levels\, stream slopes\, and inundation extents in rivers\, lakes\, and floodplains. In the world’s oceans\, SWOT will observe ocean circulation at unprecedented scales of 15–25 km (9.3–15.5 mi)\, approximately an order of magnitude finer than current satellites. Because it uses wide-swath altimetry technology\, SWOT will almost completely observe the world’s oceans and freshwater bodies with repeated high-resolution elevation measurements\, allowing observations of variations. \nLinks:\nSurface Water and Ocean Topography at NASA.gov \nOcean Surface Topography from Space at NASA.gov \nCnes project Library at CNES.fr \nAVISO+ portal for SWOT

SUMMARY:JUpiter ICy moons Explorer
DESCRIPTION:The JUpiter ICy moons Explorer (JUICE) is an interplanetary spacecraft in development by the European Space Agency (ESA) with Airbus Defence and Space as the main contractor. \nThe mission will study three of Jupiter‘s Galilean moons: Ganymede\, Callisto\, and Europa\, all of which are thought to have significant bodies of liquid water beneath their surfaces\, making them potentially habitable environments. The mission is not focused on volcanically active Io\, a non-icy moon. The spacecraft launched on 14 April 2023 at 12:14 UTC and will reach Jupiter in July 2031 after four gravity assists and eight years of travel. In December 2034\, the spacecraft will enter orbit around Ganymede for its close up science mission\, becoming the first spacecraft to orbit a moon other than the Moon of Earth. The selection of this mission for the L1 launch slot of ESA’s Cosmic Vision science programme was announced on 2 May 2012. Its period of operations will overlap with NASA‘s Europa Clipper mission\, launching in 2024. \n\n\nNASA’s Juno Is Getting Ever Closer to Jupiter’s Moon Io Links:\nESA’s JUICE \nJuice \nAgenda – JUpiter ICy moons Explorer : launch / Agenda – JUpiter ICy moons Explorer : launch 2nd attempt \nJuice pre-launch press briefing \nHow to follow the Juice launch live

SUMMARY:Cosmic Vision : Euclid space telescope / Euclides
DESCRIPTION:Euclid is a visible to near-infrared space telescope developed by the European Space Agency (ESA) and the Euclid Consortium\, the objective of the Euclid mission is to better understand dark energy and dark matter by accurately measuring the acceleration of the universe. \nTo achieve this\, the Korsch-type telescope will measure the shapes of galaxies at varying distances from Earth and investigate the relationship between distance and redshift. Dark energy is generally accepted as contributing to the increased acceleration of the expanding universe\, so understanding this relationship will help to refine how physicists and astrophysicists understand it. Euclid’s mission advances and complements ESA’s Planck telescope (2009 to 2013). The mission is named after the ancient Greek mathematician Euclid. Euclid is a medium-class (“M-class”) mission and is part of the Cosmic Vision campaign of ESA’s Science Programme. This class of missions have an ESA budget cap at around €500 million. Euclid was chosen in October 2011 together with Solar Orbiter\, out of several competing missions. Prior to the Russian invasion of Ukraine\, the launch was scheduled on a Soyuz ST-B in 2023; following the invasion\, Euclid will instead be launched on a Falcon 9 Block 5 on 1 July 2023. \nLinks:\nEuclid \nHow to follow the Euclid launch live \nRuimtetelescoop Euclid wil uitvinden waar het heelal van gemaakt is \nEuclid test images tease of riches to come \nEuclid ‘dark universe’ telescope team will unveil new full-color images today (May 23) \nZoom into the first page of ESA Euclid’s great cosmic atlas \nSpace Warps – ESA Euclid / Euclid Galaxy Zoo – help us classify the shapes of galaxies

SUMMARY:Webb Space Telescope’s First Year of Science Celebration
DESCRIPTION:NASA is commemorating the first year of science and discoveries from the agency’s James Webb Space Telescope\, the largest\, most powerful\, and most complex space telescope ever built. \nTo celebrate the anniversary\, multiple events will take place online and live across the U.S. Webb’s first full-color images were released July 12\, 2022\, marking the beginning of the observatory’s science mission. Since then\, Webb has discovered some of the earliest galaxies ever observed\, delivered the most detailed view of the atmospheres of planets outside our solar system\, and captured new views of planets within our solar system. The James Webb Space Telescope is the world’s premier space science observatory. Webb is solving mysteries in our solar system\, looking beyond to distant worlds around other stars\, and probing the mysterious structures and origins of our universe and our place in it. Webb is an international program led by NASA with its partners\, ESA (European Space Agency)\, and CSA (Canadian Space Agency). \nLinks:\nJoin NASA to Celebrate Webb Space Telescope’s First Year of Science

SUMMARY:Eerste observatie van een quasar (1962) 2023
DESCRIPTION:Een observatorium in Australië vindt de eerste bekende quasar. \nEen quasar (Engelse afkorting voor quasi-stellar radio source)\, of QSO (Quasi Stellar Object) is een actief centrum van een sterrenstelsel (‘active galactic nucleus‘ of AGN) met een zeer hoge helderheid. Het gaat om een superzwaar zwart gat (in feite een extreem zware ster) in het centrum van een sterrenstelsel\, waarvan de omringende schijf met materie licht en straling uitzendt wanneer deze naar het zwarte gat wordt getrokken. Een dergelijke schijf rond een ster of gat wordt de accretieschijf genoemd. De eerste quasars (3C 48 en 3C 273) werden ontdekt als sterke radiobronnen \nin de jaren 1950. Het eerste spectrum van een quasar (3C 273\, tevens de helderste quasar) dat hun grote afstand verraadde\, werd in 1963 verkregen door Maarten Schmidt\, een Nederlands astronoom die in de Verenigde Staten werkte. Achteraf blijken ze al op fotografische platen uit de 19e eeuw te staan\, echter zonder als bijzonder object herkend te zijn. Een tweede groep van quasars wordt ‘radiostille quasars’ genoemd. Deze objecten zenden geen ongewoon hoge hoeveelheid radiostraling uit. \nLinks:\nWat is een quasar?

SUMMARY:TRAPPIST-1 / A cool runaway greenhouse without surface magma ocean - publication
DESCRIPTION:Exoplanets in the Trappist-1 system more likely to be habitable than scientists once thought\, a study suggests. \nA computer model simulating the evolution of planetary atmospheres found that water may have survived on some planets of the fascinating planetary system. For years\, scientists have been debating the odds of life existing on seven fascinating planets orbiting the Trappist-1 star\, the most famous planetary system outside our own. The reason? Although several of these planets orbit in their star’s habitable zone\, the region around a stellar body where liquid water can exist because temperatures are just right\, these worlds weren’t always so comfortable. In the past\, Trappist-1 exoplanets were subject to much harsher conditions because their parent star used to be much hotter. During those hundreds of millions of scorching years\, any water which may have been trapped in the rocks of these planets would have evaporated and dissipated into space\, scientists previously thought. That would\, of course\, ruin the chance of the Trappist-1 planets to develop life as we know it. But a study\, based on a novel modeling technique of the evolution of planetary atmospheres\, suggests all may not be lost for life on Trappist-1 exoplanets. \nLinks:\nTRAPPIST-1 / Temperate Earth-sized planets transiting a nearby ultracool dwarf star – publication \nExoplanets in the Trappist-1 system more likely to be habitable than scientists once thought\, study suggests

SUMMARY:The Sky at Night - Black Holes: Searching for the Unknown (TV BBC Four)
DESCRIPTION:  \nThe Sky at Night is a monthly documentary television programme on astronomy produced by the BBC. \nThe show had the same permanent presenter\, Patrick Moore\, from its first broadcast on 24 April 1957 until 7 January 2013. The latter date was a posthumous broadcast\, which followed Moore’s death on 9 December 2012. This made it the longest-running programme with the same presenter in television history. Many early episodes are missing\, either because the tapes were wiped\, thrown out\, or because the episode was broadcast live and never recorded in the first place. \nBeginning with the 3 February 2013 edition\, the show was co-presented by Lucie Green and Chris Lintott. Since December 2013 Maggie Aderin-Pocock has been a presenter. The programme’s opening and closing theme music is “At the Castle Gate”\, from the incidental music to Pelléas et Mélisande\, written in 1905 by Jean Sibelius\, performed by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and conducted by Sir Thomas Beecham. \nThis episode:\n \nThere has never been a more exciting time to study one of the most mysterious phenomena in space. This month\, The Sky at Night team investigate the science of black holes and discover the incredible techniques being used to uncover their secrets\, and even help us answer bigger questions about our universe. \nChris meets with Dr Becky Smethurst at the University of Oxford to learn how a black hole forms from the death of a star. He also investigates whether black holes deserve their menacing portrayal in popular culture. He describes what would happen if we got too close to the event horizon and how black holes might actually play a role in lighting up the universe. \nMaggie explores how scientists are trying to understand more about black holes by meeting Dr Tessa Baker\, who works on LIGO. The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory is one of the world’s largest physics experiments and is not your usual type of observatory; instead of looking – it listens. The next observation run has just started\, and Maggie learns what they are hoping to find. \nChris meets with Dr James Nightingale\, who has recently discovered one of the largest black holes in space using brand new computational technology and the age-old technique of gravitational lensing. They explore the relationship between black holes and galaxies\, as it is thought that within the centre of every galaxy lies a supermassive black hole. \nWe visit our in-house stargazing expert\, Pete Lawrence\, who shows us how to find a black hole in the sky\, and Saturn at its brightest and best. \nFinally\, George Dransfield visits Dr Silke Weinfurtner at her black hole laboratory\, where they are simulating features of black holes here on Earth. They use fluid systems to perform experiments to try to determine if phenomena we think occur around black holes could actually happen. \nLinks:\nThe Sky at Night

SUMMARY:Komeet 322P/SOHO in 2023
DESCRIPTION:De komeet 322P/SOHO bereikt het perihelium op 21 augustus 2023. \nDeze periodieke komeet heeft een sterk elliptische baan\, met een omlooptijd van circa 4.0 jaar. De komeet bevindt zich tijdens het perihelium op een afstand van slechts 0\,05 AE van de Zon en op 1\,00 AE van de Aarde. De helderheid van het object bedraagt dan magnitude +5\,8. Bedenk hierbij dat het lastig is de helderheid van een komeet exact te voorspellen. Daarnaast is een komeet vaak onzichtbaar rond het moment van grootste helderheid\, doordat deze zich dan te dicht bij de Zon aan de hemel bevindt. Deze komeet is in België en Nederland niet of nauwelijks zichtbaar bij een helderheid groter dan achtste magnitude. \nLinks:\nKomeet 322P/SOHO in 2023

SUMMARY:Is There an Earth-like Planet in the Distant Kuiper Belt? - publication
DESCRIPTION:The study ‘Is There an Earth-like Planet in the Distant Kuiper Belt?‘ suggests that a thus far undetected Earth-like planet hovering in the Kuiper Belt region could be deviating orbits of Sedna and a handful of similar trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs)\, which are the countless icy bodies orbiting the sun at gigantic distances. \nMany TNOs have oddly inclined and egg-shaped orbits\, possibly due to being tugged at by a hidden planet\, astronomers say. Two Japanese researchers used computer simulations to analyze the effects of such an undiscovered planet on the TNOs. Those simulations\, which included evolutions of numerous real and model TNOs in the furthest reaches of an icy region\, known as the Kuiper Belt\, produced the extreme orbits observed for Sedna and other TNOs. Such a planet would be between 1.5 to three times Earth’s size and would reside somewhere between 37 billion km to 74 billion km from the sun. \nSearching for planets lurking in the frigid edges of our solar system is not a new concept. The so-called Planet Nine\, a world 10 times more massive than Earth\, is thought to be responsible for at least five strange features in the solar system including the oddly inclined orbits of a few Kuiper Belt objects. This theoretical orb has captured the attention of many\, but remains undetected. But research suggests if Planet Nine exists out there\, it could be residing somewhere between 59 billion km to 119 billion km from the sun. \nAlthough the possibility of Planet Nine gained significant traction from research groups worldwide\, the theory has also been controversial. Some astronomers argue that the highly eccentric orbits of TNOs\, for which Planet Nine’s presence was considered necessary\, could occur without the hidden planet’s presence. In 2021\, an independent study in fact claimed data used by the team behind the discovery paper first theorizing Planet Nine was biased\, and concluded that there’s a very low chance of such a planet existing. In comparison to Planet Nine\, the newly hypothesized planet — dubbed “Kuiper Belt Planet (KBP)” — would be much closer and more influential on the orbits of Kuiper Belt’s objects\, especially those beyond 7 billion km\, according to the study. \nLinks:\nCould an ‘Earth-like’ planet be hiding in our solar system’s outer reaches?

SUMMARY:Discovery of Spherules of Likely Extrasolar Composition in the Pacific Ocean Site of the CNEOS 2014-01-08 (IM1) Bolide - publication
DESCRIPTION:For the first time in history\, scientists analyzed materials from a meter-size object that originated from outside the solar system. \nThe object lit up the sky over the Pacific Ocean nearly a decade ago and its bright fireball was tracked by US government satellites. The interstellar expedition team of the Galileo Project just completed the early analysis of 57 spherules from the crash site of the first recognized interstellar meteor\, IM1. Five of these millimeter-size marbles originated as molten droplets from the surface of IM1 when it was exposed to the immense heat from the fireball generated by its friction on air on January 8\, 2014. Altogether\, about 700 spherules were collected by an expedition to the Pacific Ocean on June 14–28\, 2023. Technical details and supporting information can be found in a scientific paper\, which was submitted for publication in a prestigious peer-reviewed journal. \nLinks:\nSpherule analysis finds evidence of extrasolar composition \nThe IM1 Spherules from the Pacific Ocean Have Extrasolar Composition

SUMMARY:Carrington Event (1859) 2023
DESCRIPTION:The Carrington Event was a powerful geomagnetic storm on 1–2 September 1859\, during solar cycle 10 (1855–1867). \nA solar coronal mass ejection (CME) hit Earth’s magnetosphere and induced the largest geomagnetic storm on record. The associated “white light flare” in the solar photosphere was observed and recorded by British astronomers Richard Carrington and Richard Hodgson. The storm created strong auroral displays and caused serious damage to telegraph systems. The now-standard unique IAU identifier for this flare is SOL1859-09-01. A solar storm of this magnitude occurring today would cause widespread electrical disruptions\, blackouts\, and damage due to extended outages of the electrical grid. The solar storm of 2012 was of similar magnitude\, but it passed Earth’s orbit without striking the planet\, missing by nine days. \nLinks:\nCarrington Event literatuur \nOur Sun Is Capable of Giant Superstorms 100x Carrington Event\, New Study  \nCarrington Event • Blackout & Konsequenzen • Sonneneruption • Planetare Geologie | Christian Köberl

SUMMARY:Ho'oleilana: An Individual Baryon Acoustic Oscillation? - publication
DESCRIPTION:Astronomers identified a vast\, bubble-like structure known as Hoʻoleilana in the distribution of relatively nearby galaxies\, estimated at 1 billion light-years in diameter and described as the first observation of an individual Baryon Acoustic Oscillation (BAO). \nThe cosmic bubble is located around 820 million light-years from Earth and is a staggering one billion light-years wide. It sits within a web of galaxies and has been given the name “Ho’oleilana\,“ which is a term from the Hawaiian creation chant Kumulipo. Ho’oleilana describes the origin of structure and relates to the stars and the moon. Massive structures such as Ho’oleilana are predicted to arise in the universe as a result of tiny ripples in the hot\, dense and mostly uniform sea of matter which existed at the beginning of time. These density ripples\, called BAOs\, grew as the universe underwent a period of rapid inflation (called the Big Bang). \nThe ripples are also known to have given rise to major cosmic structures while influencing the distribution of galaxies. However\, this is the first identification of a single structure associated with a BAO. The bubble itself is composed of previously identified structures that themselves have been considered some of the universe’s largest arrangements of matter. This includes several superclusters\, or groups of galaxy clusters\, that each contain 10 clusters and span up to 200 million light-years. At the heart of Ho’oleilana lies the Bootes supercluster and the Bootes void\, which is a 330 million-light-year-wide space of nothingness. The bubble was found using datasets collected by Cosmicflows-4\, which were published in 2022 and marks the largest compilation of precise distances to galaxies. \nLinks:\nEcho of the Big Bang: Discovered a giant object measuring a billion light-years \nVast bubble of galaxies discovered\, given Hawaiian name \nBubble of galaxies spanning 1 billion light-years could be a fossil of the Big Bang

SUMMARY:Metals from spacecraft reentry in stratospheric aerosol particles - publication
DESCRIPTION:Large increases in the number of low earth orbit satellites are projected in the coming decades [L. Schulz\, K.-H. Glassmeier\, Adv. Space Res. 67\, 1002–1025 (2021)] withperhaps 50\,000 additional satellites in orbit by 2030 [GAO\, Large constellations of satellites: Mitigating environmental and other effects (2022)]. \nWhen spent rocketbodies and defunct satellites reenter the atmosphere\, they produce metal vapors that condense into aerosol particles that descend into the stratosphere. So far\, models of spacecraft reentry have focused on understanding the hazard presented by objects that survive to the surface rather than on the fate of the metals that vaporize. Here\, the research shows that metals that vaporized during spacecraft reentries can be clearly measured instratospheric sulfuric acid particles. Over 20 elements from reentry were detected and were present in ratios consistent with alloys used in spacecraft. The mass of lithium\, aluminum\, copper\, and lead from the reentry of spacecraft was found to exceed the cosmic dust influx of those metals. About 10% of stratospheric sulfuric acid particles larger than 120 nm in diameter contain aluminum and other elements from spacecraft reentry. Planned increases in the number of low earth orbit satellites within the next few decades could cause up to half of stratospheric sulfuric acid particles to contain metals from reentry. The influence of this level of metallic content on the properties of stratospheric aerosol is unknown. \nLinks:\nMetals from spacecraft reentry in stratospheric aerosol particles \nMeasurement of a lithium plume from the uncontrolled re-entry of a Falcon 9 rocket – publication

SUMMARY:From black holes to quantum computing - with Marika Taylor
DESCRIPTION:How can black holes help us understand the workings of a quantum computer? \nBlack holes are believed to be the most efficient quantum computers naturally existing in our universe. Standard computers do not have the capabilities to quickly solve some of the problems and unanswered questions facing researchers\, but black holes may be able to provide insight into how quantum computers work and facilitate their development. In this talk\, discover how a quantum computer makes use of the quantum states of subatomic particles to both store and process information and explore the long-standing question of what happens if you fall into a black hole\, from a new quantum perspective. \nLinks:\nBlack holes and quantum computers

SUMMARY:The Sky at Night : The Very Large Telescope (TV BBC Four)
DESCRIPTION:The Sky at Night is a monthly documentary television programme on astronomy produced by the BBC. \nThe show had the same permanent presenter\, Patrick Moore\, from its first broadcast on 24 April 1957 until 7 January 2013. The latter date was a posthumous broadcast\, which followed Moore’s death on 9 December 2012. This made it the longest-running programme with the same presenter in television history. Many early episodes are missing\, either because the tapes were wiped\, thrown out\, or because the episode was broadcast live and never recorded in the first place. Beginning with the 3 February 2013 edition\, the show was co-presented by Lucie Green and Chris Lintott. Since December 2013 Maggie Aderin-Pocock has been a presenter. The programme’s opening and closing theme music is “At the Castle Gate”\, from the incidental music to Pelléas et Mélisande\, written in 1905 by Jean Sibelius\, performed by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and conducted by Sir Thomas Beecham. \nThis episode:\nThe Very Large Telescope – or VLT – has been responsible for some of the greatest astronomical breakthroughs of all time\, discoveries that have resulted in Nobel Prizes and transformed our understanding of the cosmos. The Sky at Night team travels to the heart of Chile’s Atacama Desert to explore one of the most advanced observatories in the world – a site at the forefront of ground-based optical astronomy. \nThe Very Large Telescope\, or VLT\, is located at the Paranal Observatory\, in the Atacama Desert\, one of the driest places on earth apart from the North and South Poles\, which makes it the perfect place for an observatory because there is little moisture in the air distorting the view of the stars. \nThe VLT is actually made up of four main telescopes that can be used individually or have their observing power combined. Each telescope contains a huge 8.2 metre mirror at its heart\, designed to capture as much light as possible\, and the images obtained from the ground are almost as sharp as those obtained in space. \nIn this episode\, Maggie meets some of the scientists\, engineers and astronomers working at this extraordinary site. Her journey begins by meeting the head of maintenance\, support and engineering\, Maxime Boccas. He is leading the operation of something that only happens once every two years – the cleaning of the mirrors. Maxime explains the incredible way these huge and delicate mirrors are cleaned and maintained – including the way aluminium particles are vaporised to create perfectly reflective surfaces. \nSomeone using the incredible telescopes for their work is astronomer Dr Joe Anderson. Along with other scientists\, Joe uses the VLT’s specialised instruments – devices that analyse light from the universe\, helping scientists to see and better understand the cosmos. Joe explains that the VLT is the world’s most advanced visible-light astronomical observatory\, and its huge mirrors and range of instruments mean astronomers can get readings across a broad range of spectrums\, which has led to a lot of new discoveries regarding exoplanets\, black holes and gamma ray bursts. \nThe VLT is a huge site in the middle of a desert\, so Maggie next meets Vanessa Peidro\, the head of logistics and responsible for maintaining not just the buildings and vehicles but also managing food\, water and other facilities that cater for 150-160 people on site at any one time. \nMaggie then meets physicist Francoise Delplancke-Stroebele and her colleague Frederic Gonte. They are leading the VLT’s next upgrade\, Gravity+\, and explain how the four massive telescopes at the VLT work in unison by combining light waves in a technique called interferometry. This technique is used by astronomer Dr Abigail Frost\, who explains how interferometry helped in the recent discovery of a rare so-called ‘vampire star’. \nThe VLT is still a world-class observatory with cutting-edge research\, but the site will soon transform into an even more powerful observatory. The Extremely Large Telescope\, or ELT\, is currently in construction. Maggie gets a sneak peek at what will be\, when it’s completed in five years’ time\, the biggest optical telescope in the world. Built on top of a mountain and the size of a cathedral\, the ELT has to be one of the most spectacular and complex feats of engineering in the world. \nLinks:\nThe Sky at Night

SUMMARY:Study finds the Universe is a black hole (kind of) / All objects and some questions - publication
DESCRIPTION:The paper ‘All objects and some questions‘ presents an overview of the thermal history of the Universe and the sequence of objects (e.g.\, protons\, planets\, and galaxies) that condensed out of the background as the Universe expanded and cooled. \nThe authors plot the density and temperature of the Universe as a function of time and the masses and sizes of all objects in the Universe. These comprehensive pedagogical plots draw attention to the triangular regions forbidden by general relativity and quantum uncertainty and help navigate the relationship between gravity and quantum mechanics. How can we interpret their intersection at the smallest possible objects: Planck-mass black holes (“instantons”)? Does their Planck density and Planck temperature make them good candidates for the initial conditions of the Universe? Our plot of all objects also seems to suggest that the Universe is a black hole. The writers explain how this depends on the unlikely assumption that our Universe is surrounded by zero density Minkowski space. \nLinks:\nStudy finds the Universe is a black hole (kind of)

SUMMARY:Heliophysics Big Year
DESCRIPTION:The Heliophysics Big Year is a global celebration of solar science and the Sun’s influence on Earth and the entire solar system. \nDuring the Heliophysics Big Year\, you will have the opportunity to participate in many solar science events such as watching solar eclipses\, experiencing an aurora\, participating in citizen science projects\, and other fun Sun-related activities. Heliophysics is the study of our star and how it interacts with everything in our solar system. The “Big Year” is a concept that originated with citizen scientists in the bird-watching community. During their Big Year\, birders attempt to observe and study as many bird species as possible during a calendar year\, and we are challenging you to do the same with our Sun. \nLinks:\nThe Heliophysics Big Year \nBig Year

SUMMARY:International Astronautical Congress 2023
DESCRIPTION:Every year\, the International Astronautical Federation with the support of the International Academy of Astronautics and the International Institute of Space Law (IISL)\, holds the International Astronautical Congress (IAC) which is hosted by one of the national society members of the IAF. \nThey are an annual meeting of the actors in the discipline of space\, and are generally held in late September or early October. They consist of plenary sessions\, lectures and meetings. The IAC is attended by the agency heads and senior executives of the world’s space agencies. As the Second World War came to an end\, the United States and the Soviet Union held different and competing political worldviews. As the Cold War began to take shape\, communication between the two countries became less frequent. \nBoth countries turned their focus to achieving military superiority over the other. Six years after the Iron Curtain fell\, the International Astronautical Federation (IAF) was formed by scientists from all over Europe in the field of space research in order to collaborate once more. During the years of the Space Race\, the IAF was one of the few forums where members of both East and West Europe could meet during the annual International Astronautical Congresses. \nLinks:\nInternational Astronautical Congress
